Decades on the dojo floor. Dedicated to teaching authentic Shorinryu Matsubayashi Karate — passing on the traditions passed down from Okinawa's great masters.
I'm an instructor of Shorinryu Matsubayashi Karate at Bukenkan of India, training under the lineage of the great O'Sensei Shoshin Nagamine. I've dedicated my life to teaching authentic karate and passing on the traditions from Okinawa.

Each milestone represents decades of dedication. Here's my journey from student to instructor.
Started my karate journey at Bukenkan of India with no prior martial arts experience. The first steps on the path of Shorinryu Matsubayashi — a journey that would define my life.
After 6 years of dedicated training, earned my first degree black belt. A significant milestone — the real learning had just begun.
Promoted to 4th Dan. Started taking on more teaching responsibilities and assisting senior instructors with classes.
Promoted to 7th Dan in Karate and 6th Dan in Kobudo — a senior instructor level. Now training the next generation of students, passing on the traditions that were taught to me.
What I've learned so far at Bukenkan — honest, accurate, no exaggeration.
Silver Medalist in the 9th WKC World Championships held at Australia.
Gold Medalist in the State Level and National level Karate Tournament.
Participated in World Karate and Kobudo Tournament held in Japan.
Teaching karate is not about passing on techniques — it's about passing on a way of life. The discipline, respect, and character that the art builds in students is the true legacy.
— Teaching philosophyEvery student has potential. My role is to guide them, not just teach them. The dojo is a place where character is forged through dedication and practice.
— Belief in studentsA true master is never done learning. Even as I teach, I continue to train — because the day we stop learning is the day we stop growing.
— Lifelong learning
